CREATIVE & INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY DISCLAIMER:
- ALL of the time, energy, and creativity brought to the cove is done so by autonomous mer-folk, who are all independent artists in their own right. All volunteers are the sole proprietors of their own creations, such as name, character, costuming, and personal creative offerings. However, if one EXPLICITLY donates an idea, concept, or item/s to the cove, that idea, concept, or item/s is henceforth the exclusive creative and intellectual property of Una's Traveling Fanta-Sea Cove.
- Merfolk who engage in their own independent entertainment business shall not copy, steal, or infringe upon the creative and intellectual property rights of the Traveling Fanta-Sea Cove or of Una the Mermaid.
- There is NO exclusivity clause required to participate with the cove. The cove is meant to inspire others and encourage others to venture out! However, there is still a certain level of professional business etiquette expected from mer-person volunteers, especially those who may be simultaneously running their own cove or mermaid business. The Traveling Fanta-Sea Cove although a not-for-profit venture, is still owned and managed by the for-profit arm of Una the Mermaid the Entertainer. Egregious violations of professional business etiquette will bar one from further participation with the Traveling Fanta-Sea Cove, and could result in legal ramifications.
- All photos or images taken of the Traveling Fanta-Sea Cove, Una the Mermaid or of its mer-person volunteers are considered public domain unless otherwise specified by a professional photographer copyright. Casual and/or candid photos taken at public events by those who do NOT have a photography business will NOT be considered images governed under a professional copyright.
- It is never the intention of Una the Mermaid or of the Traveling Fanta-Sea Cove to infringe upon a photo copyright. If you feel there has been an infringement on a professional copyright, please contact Una the Mermaid to have the photo removed.
- Many photos and images from the public events of the Traveling Fanta-Cove will be used for advertising of the Traveling Fanta-Sea Cove on this website, and other social media. If you are a volunteer and do not wish to have your image published please contact Una the Mermaid to have it removed.
